Madden NFL 10 Video: Franchise Hub & Extra Point Show (IGN)

[Finsfan46]

What gets me the most........people said it looked all plain and un-interesting from the little peaks that we got shown at E3.

Then we get this.......which is "much" better than plain and un-interesting.........and "STILL" people dont have anything
good to say .......un-be-frickin-lievable !

And no offense to Alex, I'm sure she's a nice lady... but how'd NCAA get a hot Erin Andrews and we got Alex (not exactly hot) Flanagan...? I'd much rather be seeing Erin all franchise long than Alex. I'm just say'in.

Im pretty sure the user was skipping alot. It's looking much better than the E3 vids for sure though. Cant wait for this damn game.

Hopefully they sorted out the "dumb highlight logic" where they would show a 1 yd insignificant run or where they have all the highlights out of chronological order.

I think those "dumb" highlights are actually meant to highlight the defense however the caption recognizes the offense instead. Small mistake but noticeable.

Those 1 yard runs ended up being highlights due to the user super simming the game.

thats right. I forgot there was a discussion about that a while ago when they first showed the E3 vids. Looking very good for the future.

Unfortunately, what we just witnessed is a mistake that's gone unfixed and probably because no one noticed it was a mistake... and that in and of itself is a problem. I'm hoping very much that they get some actual writing talent in there at some point, and some new (better) guys recording, editing and overseeing this aspect. It's really a shame to see something with so much potential be screwed up because of something so minor.

Alright I see. After watching it again, the whistle does blow and he goes right into it. Could it be the user skipping out of the cutscenes and going straight into the halftime show? IIRC, in the E3 vids they showed the score of the game (with the graphic covering a large portion of the screen) before going into the halftime show.

I have to admit, I was very quick to judge a book by its cover when I first started seeing some of these presentation elements, after seeing some of this stuff in depth i am impressed.

The halftime show is good to go in my book. I was up in arms when i realized they didnt have announcing over top the highlights but its good enough the way it is.

I can see it, they add highlights and more announcing next year, they will have something very special on their hands.

I dont think I have been fair with these guys as im very harsh when criticizing the devs. I like what I am seeing and especially after playing NCAA, I feel lucky to get what we are getting.
